Welcome to the official web- and blogsite for the tenor, pedagogue, and musicologist: Justin Vickers
My life as an artist has been largely shaped by the music of Benjamin Britten and his partner, the tenor Peter Pears. Likewise, the music of their contemporaries is of equal import to me, namely Michael Tippett, Lennox Berkeley, William Walton, and Priaulx Rainier, to name a few.
I count myself exceptionally grateful to have studied privately with the late Philip Langridge in England, whilst a Presser Fellow. Such study also opportuned my work with the great Neil Mackie, CBE, with whom I continue to work when in the UK.
This site is primarily intended to relay my professional work as a performer, artist-teacher, and writer. But it is also a way for you, dear traveler, to reach out to me and engage in conversation about art, music, and singing. One of my passions is learning about new and obscure song and operatic literature, as well as hearing about the most recent news in scholarship; don't hesitate to send me an e-mail or make a post.
I am a frequent performer of newly composed works, premièring numerous song cycles that I either commissioned or happily, which various composers have written for me.
I'll share updates as they happen.
Stay in touch on these pages...
Warm regards,
Tenor | Opera Singer | Musicologist | Britten Specialist | Recital Artist | British Music Researcher | Voice Professor
